Research direction

Start with the beta docs source at github.com/reactive-python/reactpy/tree/new-docs and compare it with the live preview and React's beta documentation. Map the existing reStructuredText documentation before evaluating the Markdown conversion and the listed versioning, macros, and Jupyter plugins. Done means the documentation is rewritten 1:1 in the proposed format and the resulting docs are usable for beginners.

Current Situation

It is difficult for new contributors to modify the docs, due to the current usage of reStructuredText (RST). Also the current verbiage is somewhat hard to understand for beginners.

Proposed Actions

Convert the current docs from reStructuredText (sphinx) to Markdown (mkdocs).

These new docs should be a 1:1 rewrite of ReactJS's documentation.
